DistilaMax®CN Yeast is selected on fresh sugar cane juice for production of rum and other sugar-cane based spirits
DistilaMax ® CN is a natural strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated by the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil.
DistilaMax CN, due to its ability to work well on fresh sugar cane-juice and cane molasses is recommended in the production of all the types of aromatic and complex rums and rhum agricole.
DistilaMax CN displays a complex and well-balanced aromatic profile due to the production of key esters and phenyl-2 ethanol.
DistilaMax CN shows good tolerance to osmotic stress and performs well in adverse conditions, at high temperatures up to 40°C and a pH range 3.4 – 5.3.
- Temp Range 25°C – 40°C
- Very Robust
- Short Lag Phase
Applications:
- DistilaMax ® CN is a natural strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated by the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil, under the reference UFMG 1007.
- DistilaMax CN, due to its ability to work well on fresh sugar cane-juice and cane molasses is recommended in the production of all the types of aromatic and complex rums and rhum agricole.
- DistilaMax CN displays a complex and well-balanced aromatic profile due to the production of key esters and phenyl-2 ethanol.
- DistilaMax CN shows good tolerance to osmotic stress and performs well in adverse conditions, at high temperatures up to 40°C and a pH range 3.4 - 5.3.
Dosage:
- The optimal yeast dosage is variable according to individual distillery production processes.
- Fermentation of cachaça: 0.50 grams per litre of wash or juice (dosage: 500 ppm).
- Fermentation of cane juice or cane molasses: direct pitching: 0.40 – 0.60 grams per litre of wash or juice (dosage: 400 – 600 ppm).
Instructions for Use:
Lallemand Biofuels & Distilled Spirits recommends the rehydration of DistilaMax XP.
- For rehydration, use a clean container. Do not use demineralized water.
- Rehydrate the yeast in clean water (the water should be 10 times the weight of the yeast and at a temperature of 32°C - 36°C).
- Suspend contents carefully by gently stirring and then wait for 15 - 20 minutes maximum (minimum 10 minutes) before moving onto the next step.
- Add this preparation to the wash. If there is a temperature difference of more than 8°C between the wash to be inoculated and the rehydration solution, add some wash slowly into the rehydration solution to reduce the temperature difference.
- Once the vacuum-sealed bag is open or broken, use yeast promptly.
Storage, Handling and Packaging:
- DistilaMax CN should be stored in a cool and dry area away from heat and direct sunlight for maximum stability.
- Shelf Life: 3 years from date of manufacture if vacuum-seal is not broken.
